TO PAY FOB LIVES
LOST ON SHIP
Willing To Pay For 115
Lusitania Victims.
MUST DISAVOW ACT
Will Give $5,000 For One
Rich American-President
Not Willing To Accept
Any Amount Unless Ab
solute Disavowal Is Made.
WASHINGTON, NOV. l!;j.--Through
Count von IJernsiori't, Germany has
noti/ied tho United Status of its will
ingness to pay indemnity for tho 115
Americans who lost their lives when
the Lusitania was sunk by a German
submarine.
Although no amount has as yet been
proposed it is stated that tho Gorman
government stands ready to pay $.^,000
for each American who died on the
great liner, or a total of ^r>75,0()0. It
is doubted if this offer will bo accept
able to the United States.
Gorman^- has not yet shovn any in
clination to disavow tho act of the
sr.liniarino commander who destroyed
tl;e Lusitania. It has sugge.-ited. how
ever, that tho question of disavowal be
submitted to arbitration. This pro
posal President Wilsou undoubtedly
will reject.
Tho oiler to niako financial repara
tion for the Americans killed on the
Lu.sitania, accordinj to the IJaily News
correspondent’s information, was made
to Secretary of State 1-insing by Am
bassador liernstorff when tiie German
diplomat called at the stiite depart
ment last week.
At the sanio time he is said to have
informed Mr. Lansing that his govern
ment did not think it should bo pressed
to apologize for sinking a British ship
transporting munitions of war along
with pasengers.
'I'he German government, according
to the ambassador, holds that while It
had a right to destroy tho Lusitania
It did not intend injuring Americans
and to show its regret for tho loss of
so many Anierican lives desires to
make such reparation as is possible
by the payment of an indemnity.
This offer to pay tho families of
those Americans who perished on the
vessel ia said to Lave been made with
out reservation and without regard to
tho question of justiilcation involved
in the controversy.
An effort w'ar mado by a German
emissary recently to got a father and
mother who lost a son on the Lusitania
to sign a statement that they believed
Groat Britain equally lI:ib!o with Ger
many for tho payment of damages. The
argument presented by this agent was
that Kngland incurred tho liability
when it allowed war munitions to bo
carried in a British passenger ship.
The plan failed when the parents’ curt-
Iv spurned tho siiggestlon, although
they are said to have been promised
inimediate payment of any amount
th''V would stipu’ale. German eni-
lia-.sy officials deny this agent repre
sented the Berlin government.
